From the Archives (2016)

The 2016 series Denizens of Climate Change was intended to showcase the landscapes and bird populations of the Pacific Northwest – all of which will suffer the impact of climate change in the years to come, just like the rest of the world.

While photographing the beauty that surrounds us I was wondering how many of these species and natural sights will still be available to later generations. Will we have failed our children and their children by not pursuing a way to halt the destructive exploitation of our world more aggressively?

Have we done enough to stop the appointment of cabinet members here in the US that consider climate change a hoax, or worse, know it is real but will not forgo short term financial gain regardless of long term consequences? Are we willing to change our own behaviors to delay climate change, starting with how much we drive, how much we consume and what we eat?

For balanced reporting here is some funny reading about the questions you and the birds might have asked yourself about birds at one or another time.

The montages try to conserve the beauty of what is, and also hint at the destruction that will be upon us if we don’t act. The disquieting nature of the montages is hopefully balanced by their appreciation for nature as we still experience it.
